Title: An Improved Device for use in the Manufacture of Ornamented or Figured Plates or Tiles of Cement, Clay or like Material.
Inventor: HARRISON GEORGE
Filed: 1905-02-03
Granted: 1905-04-13
Abstract: 2168. Harrison, G., [Erste Schattauer Tonwarenfabriks Akt. - Ges. vorm. C. Schlimp]. Feb. 3. Moulding tiles.-Relates to apparatus for dropping coloured material into a mould to produce the face of a tile in suitable design, a layer of cement or clay being afterwards introduced and the material compressed. As shown in section in Fig. 1, the mould a contains a stencil or templet, the walls c of which define the outlines of the pattern, and are sharpened at the top and bottom, distance-pieces d being also sharpened at the top. A measuring and charging device consists of two plates f, g, separated by two parallel strips between which slides a plate h. Openings i are filled with the coloured material, and the device is adjusted on the mould by means of pins m so that the pattern coincides with that of the stencil in the mould, when the slide h is withdrawn and the colour allowed to fall in. In the openings i are placed sheet-metal wiping-bars n, Fig. 2, which may be perpendicular or inclined to the surface of the slide h, in order to prevent the carrying-along of the colour, and to guide it towards the corners of the pattern. Distributing-bars n<1>, Fig. 1, are also for the latter purpose. Instead of the wiping-bars, wire sieves, supported by pins or soldered in the openings i, may be employed, or a single sieve may cover the lower surface of the plate f. The process is repeated for each colour.

Vertical boilers ; feed-water, heating; combustion chamber, internal ; shields ; stays and staying.-The central flue of a vertical boiler is connected with a combustion chamber, traversed by water-tubes, by means of radial flues. A feedwater-heater is superposed, and may be thrown into or out of action by two dampers specially connected. In a modified arrangement, smoketubes are added, and in a further modification two combustion chambers are used together with water and smoke tubes. Figs. 2 and 3 are respectively the sectional elevation and plan of a boiler. The stays 19 support the combustion chamber 7, 8, 9 through which run the water-tubes 10. The inner walls or supports of the chamber consist of four metal strips 18 protected by fire-proof material 42 bolted to the strips in interlocking sections. The damper 12 being closed, the heated gases pass: through the radial tubes 11, around the watertubes, and between the strips 18 to the flue G. In the first modification, the tubes 10 are replaced by larger ones to prevent choking, and smoketubes connect the furnace with the chamber. In the second modified form, shown in Fig. 6, two chambers are employed, each containing watertubes 10, and the smoke-tubes 15 are also used. The feedwater-heater H shown in Fig. 7 is placed above the boiler B and consists of an annular water chamber with cross'water-tubes 132 and fed by a pipe 39, the heated water passing by means of the pipe 40 to the lower part of the boiler. The heated gases pass up the flue to the chamber I and down the smoke-tubes 33 to the chamber J, and escape by the flue 38. To throw the heater out of action, the dampers 27, 127 are pivoted as shown, and in order to work simultaneously are connected by levers actuated by the handle 26.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Clutch Mechanism and Reversing Gear of Motor Vehicles
Inventor: VILLE GEORGES
Filed: 1905-05-01
Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 9136. Ville, G. May 5, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Motor road vehicles.-Comprises an arrangement of band-lever and foot-pedal in conjunction with link-work, by means of which the foot-pedal operates the clutch and reverse, and the band-lever operates the clutch and brake. Figs. 1 and 2 show the arrangement in part sectional elevation and in plan. The pedal b moves the internal clutch member e out of engagement with the internal member, which forms part of the fly-wheel v, through the medium of the short arm c and a forked lever d, pivoted at its lower end to the change-gear casing q. Further movement of the pedal applies the band-brake g, and thus causes the vehicle to be driven at a slower reverse speed. The arrangement for effecting the forward and reverse drives is constructed as follows :-An epicyclic gearing is arranged inside the external clutch member e, the central toothed wheel i being fixed to the motor shaft m, the planet pinions h carried by the clutch member e, and the outside internally-toothed members j fixed by means of a sleeve to the driven shaft r. When the clutch member e is pressed into operation by a spiral spring, the whole arrangement is locked, so that the driving and driven shafts revolve forward together. On the clutch member e being disengaged and then locked by the brake, the driven shaft is rotated reversely at a slower speed, through the planet pinions h, the axes of of which are now stationary. The upper end of the forked lever d is connected by the link t to the spindle on which the hand-lever is mounted in such a way that movement of the lever disengages the clutch and holds it out of action without reversing, while further movement applies a brake b<1> through the linkwork shown. The end of the link t is formed with a slot which embraces the spindle, and the link is moved and held stationary during further movement of the hand-lever by a suitably-shaped cam z abutting against a projection formed on the link at the end of the slot. The change-gear speed is operated from a hand-lever p by means of the tube n, mounted on the spindle, and the sector and rack k.

Abstract: 19,641. Fottinger, H. Nov. 7, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901] Dynamometers.-In apparatus for determining the torsion of rotating shafts, especially high-speed shafts, in which the multiplication of the angular displacement is effected in two stages, by mechanism rotating with the shaft and by stationary mechanism, respectively, the latter part of the mechanism is made displaceable to compensate for axial displacements of the shaft. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the relative motion of two disks is multiplied by a lever 1, 2, 3 and communicated to a sleeve 8 sliding on the shaft. Both disks may be mounted on tubes fixed at their farther ends to the shaft, or one disk may be mounted directly on the shaft as shown. A strap running in a groove in the sleeve 8 is connected at 6 to a lever pivoted at 5 and indicating the torsion on a scale 9. To compensate for axial movements of the shaft, the scale carrier 10 may be connected to a strap 14 running in a grooved collar fixed on the shaft. This compensation may be effected by hand with the aid of an indicator consisting of a lever pivoted to the scale carrier with one end running in a groove in the shaft and the other showing the movement on an auxiliary scale. In a modification, the pointer is disconnectably arranged with respect to the sliding sleeve; a grooved block 26, Fig. 4, which engages a flange 25 on the sleeve, is pivoted at 27 in a yokeshaped part of the pointer. For very high speeds; the rotating parts are so arranged that their centre of gravity approximates to the axis of rotation; the lever shown in Fig. 6, pivoted at 2, is provided - with three balance arms for this purpose, and the lever shown in Fig. 8 is provided with two arms projecting at right-angles on either side.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Spinning and Twisting Cotton and other Yarns.
Filed: 1905-11-18
Granted: 1906-11-15
Abstract: 23,782. Fine Cotton Spinners' and Doublers' Association, Higginson, W. H., and Hindley, E. Nov. 18. Mules and twiners. -The interval elapsing between the additional turning movement imparted to the rollers during twisting at the head and the stoppage o f the ordinary delivery is regulated by means of a retarding or lost - motion mechanism described below. The ordinary worm-wheel B<1>, Fig. 5, of the additional turning-motion is formed with a long boss b<1> to which is fixed a disk E, Fig. 2, having two slots e, e<1> and an adjustable stop bracket H. Loosely mounted on the boss b<1> is a ratchet-wheel D fixed to, or formed with, the usual pinion b driven from the front roller shaft A, and a dish D', Fig. 3, which carries a pawl d for engaging the ratchet-wheel, and a stud G to which one end of a spring clip K embracing the boss of the pinion b is secured. A pin d<3> on the pawl extends through a radial slot in the disk D', and is controlled by the slot e in the disk E, and the stud G extends into the slot e<1> of the disk E, its range of movement being limited by the adjustment of the bracket H. During ordinary delivery of the yarn, the pinion b is driven and the clip K acts to carry round the disk D<1> so as to bring the stud G against the bracket H and cause the pawl d to be lifted, by means of the slot e, clear of the ratchet-wheel. When the front roller drive is disengaged, the worm-wheel B' is driven by the worm and turns the disk E, the rollers remaining stationary, until the end of the slot e<1> comes against the stud G and the slot e allows the pawl to engage the ratchet-wheel, , the rollers then receiving their additional motion through this mechanism. A similar retardation is obtained by a modification of the existing turning-motion, the pawl disk being separated from the spur-wheel and provided with a pin capable of movement between adjustable snugs formed on the wheel, or the disk may be provided with snugs arranged at different distances apart and the wheel provided with a pin which can be set to work between any two of the snugs. A spring, brake, or equivalent returns the parts to their original position after they have acted to permit the desired retardation. The Provisional Specification describes another retarding or lost-motion mechanism in which an additional disk is provided loose upon the boss between the pawl disk and the spur-wheel arranged with pins to work in radial slots, or a disk may be secured to the revolving shaft or boss and have radial slots, the end of one of which forms an equivalent to a fixed stop for an adjustable driving-bracket. A pin or stud on the ratchetwheel moves in the radial slot, and a spring secured to the disk and the ratchet-wheel brings back the pin against the driver after the retarding- mechanism has been in operation.
